Today I gave another attempt at the Bamboo Temple. The hostel staff said I have to go to a slightly different spot around the corner on the road. But still, I didn’t see any bus waiting. Back at the hostel again, they said the bus doesn’t start there but it passes there. I went back again and still didn’t see anything like that passing.
In the mean time I got some directions from a friend. I got on a bus, but after one minute and one stop, everyone got off the bus. It was the end of the line! I asked the driver how to get to the stop I wanted, and she pointed be to go to the other side of the road. I walk over there, I see the same bus to a U-Turn and I board it again. The driver wants me to pay a second time. I said no and got on the bus anyway, since I was angry. According to my directions I had to more buses to transfer to. Just before I was to board the second bus the battery in my phone dies along with my directions. I decided to turn around and go back.
I had a train to catch later in the night too. 8PM train for Chengdu.
